Chapter 176 Excited tenants
"Well, okay, then let's have a barbecue in the wild to relive the taste of the past!" Zhang Linqi also became interested and said with a smile. [】
"Okay, I'll go and prepare the seasonings. You go and notify Sister Qingci and Yanyan!" Fang Jianping smiled slightly. Although it was even more nostalgic to barbecue with Zhang Linqi alone, Fang Jianping still made this suggestion for the long-term peace and stability in the future.
"That's good, thank you!" Zhang Linqi smiled at Fang Jianping and turned to inform him. Fang Jianping went to prepare seasonings. Generally, barbecue hares need to prepare a lot of things, such as sesame oil, MSG, cumin, etc. However, in this era, there are not many things, so we can only settle for the second best. Of course, the most important thing is participation, enjoyment, not the desire to taste the taste!
Besides, this era also has its benefits, that is, green pollution. Take these two hares as an example, the quality is absolutely first-class. (In later generations, chemical residues can be detected in the bodies of polar bears in the Arctic Circle, not to mention hares close to human settlements.)
That night, a charcoal fire rack was set up by the lotus pond in the general's mansion, Zhang Linqi, Fang Jianping, Zhang Qingci, Tang Yanyan, and four people gathered together, and the theme was two golden hares rotating on the rack...
Although the old mothers in the General's Mansion do not need to come to serve, the fragrance that comes from time to time can tell that the smell will definitely not be bad...
On the second day, Zhang Linqi still got up early and headed straight for the imperial village. Because he had to continue to harvest sickles today... and when Zhang Linqi arrived, 50,000 tenants were on the verge of being on the verge of being in full swing. After Zhang Linqi arrived, he started harvesting again with an order...
After ten days, after the hard work of 50,000 tenants, the two million mu of wheat were finally harvested! Although the harvested wheat was piled up in more than a dozen warehouses, it still couldn't be put down, so I temporarily piled up several places. However, after careful statistics, the final statistics still came out and a total of five million stones of wheat were harvested!
Five million stones of wheat! This is definitely a shocking number! In the imperial villages of all ages, it is already very good to harvest one million stones of wheat with good weather! After all, that level is there! Even if it has not been exploited by the eunuchs, it is only a little output! But now, there is only one pig tail dipped in sugar!
And the next moment is the most exciting moment, and the spoils are being held! Why is it called a spoils share meeting? Because from Chongzhen to Gao Qiqian, to those little eunuchs, at the bottom, the 50,000 tenants, all staring at the five million stones of wheat!
Of course, Chongzhen gave all this to Zhang Linqi. The first is to believe him, and the second is to know that Zhang Linqi is definitely capable of handling these things. As for him, the emperor, just wait for the yellow wheat to be put into the official warehouse in the end!
"Friends, according to our original agreement, we are now starting to divide wheat!" Zhang Linqi's opening remarks were concise and never dragged on. Because he knew that at the home of 50,000 tenants, there were several pairs of eyes and tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed!
At this time, Zhang Linqi was standing in a large open space, surrounded by a group of general's mansion guards, and at Zhang Linqi's lower head were five hundred representatives of tenants wearing patched jackets! Because the number of 50,000 tenants was too large, and there was no such large open space for meetings, so Zhang Linqi asked them to select representatives on their own and come to collect food. Each hundred people was about one, and this was the situation in front of him!
Now these five hundred people are all excited because behind Zhang Linqi there are mountains of wheat! The wheat that exudes a fragrance! Take it back and grind it and it will be a wheat with snow-white flour!
Now, this is a part of them! Moreover, it is a wheat that is 20 times more than in previous years! It is a wheat that is more than ten times more than any bumper year! It is a wheat that is so large that it can make the whole family laugh!
"Friends" Zhang Linqi looked around everyone, looked around his longing eyes and said loudly; "I know, when I took over the imperial village, many people among you didn't believe the wonderful prospects, because you are all old men and women, and you know the situation in this field the most! So, you don't believe it. At that time, I didn't want to say anything to you, because facts are better than words!" At this point, Zhang Linqi pointed to the Maishan behind him with his hand and said loudly: "How about it, you believe it now."
"I believe, we have believed it for a long time." But an old tenant named by five hundred tenant representatives, walked respectfully to Zhang Linqi and said: "After a month after the new water wheel and fattening fields were planted, the wheat seedlings in the fields grew rapidly like eating elixirs, we believed it. As for the old man, he has lived for decades, but he has never seen such a good-growing wheat!"
"Okay, just believe it," Zhang Linqi smiled boldly and said, "I believe you know that if you want to get the wheat you promised, the first thing is to have high yields in the fields, and the second thing is to ask me, Zhang, to be credible and keep your word! Now, the wheat is harvested, and the rest is to keep your word Zhang!"
"Don't dare, don't dare." When the old tenant heard this, he bent down respectfully, saying he didn't dare! Yes, he represented 50,000 tenant farmers, the lowest level of society. Zhang Linqi, as the general of the country, the governor of the West Factory, and the prince's insurance company, were the highest level of society, no one!
Their identities are far different, so how can they have an equal conversation? However, according to the old tenant's calculations, generally speaking, after collecting so much wheat, according to the original statement, it would be great that they could get half of it. This is still a good situation for a kind-hearted master! Now that the other party is a famous general in the world and famous for his reputation,
Then, maybe you can give 90% or 70% or 70%. In this way, these two halves can live a good life and you will have to erect a tablet of immortality for each family of Zhang Linqi! (Because these tenants are poor, they can't afford to wear a whole jacket, or they are reluctant to throw it away after spending it! They are all repaired and repaired in places that are easy to break. This forms two colors. So it is commonly known as two halves!)
"Haha, don't worry about anything. I, Mr. Zhang, said that we will divide the wheat on the spot, fresh. And according to the original agreement, it's not a pound! If there is a grain of wheat missing, then you can just scold me, Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Linqi said loudly.
"What?" When the old tenant heard this, he was shocked. Even the 499 tenant behind him were shocked! He heard it right just now, it was not a pound! If this is the case, it would be a great joy! But they, you, me, and you, all came to the same doubts from the other party's faces, and they all knew that they had heard it wrong!
"General of the State, benevolence and righteousness!" The old tenant in the head was excited and burst into tears and knelt down suddenly. With his kneeling, the 499 tenant in the tenant also knelt down. Perhaps for them who have a low status, kneeling down is not a new thing, or even commonplace. However, this is definitely the first time in terms of sincerity!
"No, all the villagers, please get up!" Zhang Linqi said with a smile. Because this was really a trivial thing for him, and according to his life standards, he should be trusted. Now he has just done what he should do, and it is really no big deal.
However, among these tenants who have been used to being bullied and have always been regarded as fat piglets, they are still such a high-ranking official, which is extremely rare! Its rareness is no less than the discovery of a three-legged toad!
Because, now it is the late Ming Dynasty, now it is a chaotic world, and now it is a chaotic world where food is precious, the general said casually, that represents the in and out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! If it were ordinary people, who would be willing to do it!
"General of the State, benevolence and righteousness"
"General of the State, Duke and Marquis, Wanda"
These tenants refused to get up and only expressed their gratitude in the best language they could think of!
In this situation, after Zhang Linqi repeatedly asked, these tenants got up and began to distribute grain with tears in their eyes!
"Li Xiaoshan has two thousand stones of wheat!"
"With the fourth brother, two thousand one hundred stones of wheat"
"Wang Ergou, 2,130 stones of wheat"
Since each tenant rents a different area of land, the total number of distributions is also different, but in general, it is not much different! As the representatives of the tenant have tears in their eyes, they have taken orders with the wheat they can receive. This is also a number they have already calculated repeatedly and remembered in their hearts! Now, this number is about to be fulfilled!
Although 2,000 stones of wheat are required to divide by 100 households, each household can only get twenty stones of wheat, which seems not much. However, you must know that these tenants have to work hard every year and can get two stones of wheat, which is already very good! In this way, they can deal with it with the slaughter of vegetables!
